When Sharon Brody was a kid, Mother's Day and Father's Day were banned as 'manipulative commercialism and Hallmark dreck.' Only now that she's a mom has she truly learned to hate it, and the hypocrisy of canonizing moms 1 day and judging them 364. WBUR
We’ve all been dealing with a touch of dystopian hellscape, so no wonder I almost forgot to dread Sunday.And Mother's Day is, in a nutshell, suboptimal. Now, chances are this is not how you feel, and that’s legit; I endorse your enjoyment of the celebration and three cheers for that! Happiness is awesome and I want it for you. I mean, I’m not a monster, I don’t think, probably.
Once I had kids, I kept the same approach. What I lacked in dry-macaroni-pasted-on-construction-paper Mother's Day cards from my boys, I more than made up for in ... well, I'm not sure, exactly.
and lots of anecdotes and my own microscopically-tiny-sample-size personal maternal experience combine to suggest that mothers do an awful lot of the heavy lifting.Every mom I know is having a rough go of it now. Thus, the customary gifts for the second Sunday in May? I imagine they might not cut it.

Area Man Really Banking On Unconditional Love Doing Most Of Heavy Lifting For Mother’s Day BouquetCHICAGO—After he picked up the first $14.99 floral arrangement he saw at his neighborhood drugstore Friday, sources confirmed local man Connor Wurster was apparently banking on unconditional love doing most of the heavy lifting for the bouquet he selected as a Mother’s Day present. “This one looks decent enough, and it has a pretty good number of flowers,” said the 29-year-old, who will reportedly rely upon the deep affection of the woman who gave birth to him to pick up the slack for the assortment of peach roses, stargazer lilies, and baby’s breath he purchased with five minutes to spare before leaving to visit his parents for the weekend. “Plus, it comes with a vase. I don’t know, maybe I should get some chocolates, too [in order to avoid having to depend so completely upon a mother’s limitless and profound love for her child being truly eternal].” At press time, reports indicated Wurster had added a note saying “I love you so much” just to be safe.
